So my old dinosaur of a computer started randomly rebooting a few days ago. At first I thought it was something software-related, because it took 15 minutes or so to happen. But then it started happening even from the BIOS setup menu, and now if I turn it on it just reboots continuously. This means there's something fucked up in the hardware and there ain't shit I can do about it.
I guess solving my unemployment issue just got a bit more important. Luckily, I won't actually lose any data since the hard drives are totally fine. I just need to pull them out, put them in my 3.5" drive enclosure, and pull whatever I need off of them.
I'm posting from a laptop we acquired from my granddad a while back when getting old finally got severe enough that he couldn't really use a computer anymore. I don't remember if I've mentioned this laptop on this blog before, but the sad thing is that it's better than my old desktop. I mean, it still has the vast majority of the HP crapware on it, but I cleaned up the most severe offenders that were bogging the thing down and the only bits that remain are just installed programs that never get run. I'm about this close to reformatting it and putting Ubuntu on it, to be honest.
So, why does Blogger in Chrome do double spaces as <space><non-breaking space>? In Firefox it does <non-breaking space><space>, which is the correct way to do it so that blog posts won't end up with weird word wrapping issues. I have to copy and paste every post I write into Notepad++ and do a find/replace to swap them, and it's super annoying.

I moderate comments because when Blogger originally implemented a spam filter it wouldn't work without comment moderation enabled. So if your comment doesn't show up right away, that would be why.
